Re: Get Unlimited Text and 100 mins of Talk for $15

"Compare with Chatr $15.00 plan, no unlimited incoming call will not make $10.00 Senior users to change to this plan. "

I don't believe Chatr offers refer-a-friend, autopay, or community contribution bonuses- all of which may figure into the equation. As well there's a .40/min charge to retrieve voicemail which would, if used, quickly cancel out any price equivalency.

Great announcement to wake up to!! PM is listening to the customers. This will really become the goto plan for parents to get their kids as a first phone plan. With these last two plan announcements it is showing PM is not just the feeder brand but still the brand for great plans at great prices.

Re: Get Unlimited Text and 100 mins of Talk for $15

The Spoiler says, "leaving a voicemail message uses up minutes." However, with $10 50/50 plan, I tested a few days ago whether leaving a voicemail message uses minutes or not with a brand new PM number.

When my friend leaves a voicemail message, it appears as an outgoing call to local voicemail number in both call history (picture 1) and my usage as 1/50 min (picture 2). Then, after a second, 1 minute usage disappears, 0/50 min (picture 3). It looks PM fixed it so as not to count minutes for "leaving a voicemail message." Can you please confirm this and update the Announcement/Spoiler if it's indeed fixed?
